F1 Hungaroring: Hamilton's first training session

Lewis Hamilton dictated the pace in the first free practice for the Hungarian GP. Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel came closest to the Mercedes race.

Vettlu wins crazy races for the Hungarian GP

formula 1

For Sebastian Vettl, the race for the Hungarian Grand Prix went like clockwork, as he led almost the entire race. This, however, cannot be said for his teammate Kimi Raikkonen and Mercedes racer Lewis Hamilton and Nic Rosberg. Hamilton had problems right at the start, where he almost collided with teammate Nico Rosberg. Despite avoiding this collision, he later collided with Red Bull racer Daniel Riccard in the race, earning him the penalty of driving through the pits. Rosberg also collided with Ricciard in the final laps, which cost him quite a few places, as his rear left tire punctured during the collision and he lost a lot of time driving to the pits. After all the trouble, Mercedes finished sixth and eighth. The Hungarian GP, however, brought quite a bit of pitch

Two stops are expected on Sunday

formula 1

At Pirelli, they believe that for Sunday's race for the Hungarian Grand Prix, the most optimal tactic will be two stops in the pits, after the last three races, where there was no rain, served with only one. However, the high temperatures at the Hungaroring are expected to help the tires wear faster, so racers in the pits will have to stop once more. “It’s just incredibly hot here and it looks like it’s going to be like this all weekend, although there’s also the possibility of rain cooling us off yesterday,” said Pirelli sports director Paul Hembery. "The tires hold up well in these tough conditions. We'll look at the data from all the soft treadmill simulations, but for now it looks like the racers will change the treadmill twice. The difference between the soft and medium hard mixes is up to two seconds," Hembery added. .

With his 25th best starting position in his career, he is now one better than Juan Manuel Fangio, and the starting position is expected to give him a XNUMX percent chance of winning. "I was really surprised when I drove across the line. I expected the pole to conquer Seb. I thought he made a mistake or something like that because I didn't even feel my circle Tao would be very good," Hamilton explained. . “It’s a long way to the first turn, but if I drive it first and keep that place, I won t
